Apple have decided to do a U-turn on its "Gree" credentials ... typical! Well, not surprising after local authorities in San Francisco threatened to ban buying Apples. They should go for oranges ... lol~ "Apple has rejoined an environmental ratings scheme a week after quitting the programme. The firm published a letter on its site saying it had realised the move had been "a mistake" after many of its customers had complained. The u-turn follows an announcement by San Francisco city officials that they planned to ban local agencies from buying Apple Mac computers. They said at the time that they hoped Apple would reconsider. Apple helped set up the EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) registry in 2006. It is designed to identify which electronic devices pose the least risk to the environment." Source: BBC |
